During my search on various Chinese universities and research websites, I noticed that my published articles, both in English and Chinese, as well as my master's and doctoral dissertations, are frequently cited in scientific conference papers in China, articles published in Chinese scientific journals, and numerous master's and doctoral dissertations, both within and outside of China. However, none of these citations are reflected in my profiles on ResearchGate, Google Scholar, or Web of Science. One possible reason for this discrepancy could be that most of these articles and theses have not been uploaded to ResearchGate, or it could be due to the language barrier of the content. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have to address this issue and improve the link between my profile and research databases encompassing different languages.
Yes, there are several ways you can enhance the connection between your citations and your researcher's profile on platforms like ResearchGate, Google Scholar, or Web of Science. Here are a few suggestions:
Create and maintain a comprehensive profile: Make sure your researcher's profile on these platforms is up-to-date and includes all of your publications. This will make it easier for others to find and cite your work.
Claim your publications: If your articles and theses have not been uploaded to ResearchGate or other platforms, be sure to upload them yourself. This will help ensure that your work is associated with your researcher's profile and increase its visibility to others.
Use consistent author names: Make sure that all of your publications are attributed to the same author name. This will help avoid confusion and ensure that all citations are associated with your researcher's profile.
Provide translations: If your publications are in a language other than English, consider providing translations of the titles and abstracts. This will help make your work more accessible to a wider audience and increase its visibility.
Network with other researchers: Engage with other researchers in your field, both online and in-person. This will help you build relationships and increase the likelihood of your work being cited by others.
By following these suggestions, you can enhance the connection between your citations and your researcher's profile on various platforms, and increase the visibility of your work.
Thank you so much, Professor Ajit Singh, for your excellent response and suggestions, which are essential for every researcher.
I assume that I completed all of the items you listed. But many of the conference papers that cite my work as a reference are loaded automatically in Research Gate and are not from the researchers, so that the title, abstract, and authors' names are present, but the full text and references are not!
This is one of the reasons why I've lost so many citations!
The second type consists of articles published in Chinese journals, followed by master's and doctoral dissertations written in or outside of China.
Even though these articles or dissertations appear in Chinese search engines or university websites and have DOIs, I do not understand why their data is not linked with Google Scholar or Research Gate.
